cheat

Should you add screenshots to documentation?
Looks like bro pages is archived and they recommend https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr or https://github.com/cheat/cheat

Was looking at the GitHub page for eg and found this gem
I tried eg and tldr, but I preferred cheat. Why, and why not. Cheat not only have nice examples, but let you improve them or create yours. I use the cli, not the curl.

This sub turned me onto Raycast, but... No syncing of settings / keyboard shortcuts between machines??
Hey, the app I recommend shows you all the commands you need per app not just for macOS! Support for programming languages? Download this. For git, docker and neovim download this one.

Aid needed
cheat is also a useful one. Shows you a cheat sheet for the command you search.

What is a good way to learn bash scripting
Find something to automate or make easier and write a script for it. If you get stuck on a detail, read the man pages of the command you're using (man pages confuse you? try tldr or cheat). Then google it, there's a shitton of SO Q&A on bash. If you can't find it, find a bash channel on irc or discord and ask (they'll expect you've read the FAQ though). Keep notes. I wrote a script to read and edit notes for bash, in bash, and it taught me new things!

Do you ever use cheat sheets at work?
Definitely do. I created my own doc site using docusaurus where i stored a lot of info i use every once in a while. Things i use more often are available as aliases in the shell or zsh functions. There's also the handy dandy cli https://github.com/cheat/cheat that contains a lot of cheat sheets for common binaries.

My thoughts after a week of ChatGPT usage
As a dev - It's a good (very good, in fact) alternative for man, tldr, cheat and zeal (and probably tens of other projects - sorry for not mentioning you) with a very pleasant interface - which was the point I think ;)

Try / Ripgrep in Y Minutes
A bit of an aside, but I really like "guides to things we otherwise take for granted". So few man pages are built around example use cases, but those are often what make the case for a tool!
A similar spirit to projects like https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/ , but this has a lot more useful detail.
The ripgrep author has a blog post on performance and benchmarking that is an interesting read in itself: https://blog.burntsushi.net/ripgrep/
